THE Republicans Of Crawford

As Judge Church will probably be
re-nominated by the Democrats this
will renew the contest of ten years
ago. Then it was said Mr.. Hender-
son was too young, and this with ef'
feet. Now that objection will not
apply and as he is an able lawyer
and a good man we predict that he will

FOURTH OF JULY.
An "OId Fashioned Celebra-
ton" Of the Day Asked
For.


ID proaches, and from all quarters
cry has arisen for an cold fashioned
celebration" of it. This desire now
comes doubtless from the manner ID
which the day has been observed Tor
some years past. The"old fashioned
wavn has fallen into disuse. And
now instead we have had the plcnlcs'
the excursions and other small gath
erings. These separated and scat
tered the people to many different
places. And in these social gather
ings the day was devoted to pleasure
almost everything else than the
principles of Independence announc'
ed on the 4th of July 1776. being
thought Of To restore, revive ana
bring back the old way is now the
desire all over the country.
The old fashioned way consisted
in all the citizens of town, city or
neighborhood coming together ana
C celebrating the day in a patriotic
manner exclusively. The Deciara-
ton of Independence was invariably
and always read. Not to have read
It would have been deemed an omis'
sion of tie most important part OF the
ceremonies. Then an oration gen.
erally followed, full of "spread-eagle"
and patriotism. Then toasts were
offered. These had been prepared
and were read by the person presid
ing at the head of the table and then
repeated by the one presiding at the
foot. This in order that all nigh
hear the toasts. The table, at this
place, was generally set in grove
near town, or on the pavement of th'
street, in a shady bower prepared
from the branches of trees, undel
which all could gather and be seated

The Color Of Eyes.

Extensive researches into the hered-
ity of eye colors have led NJ. Alphonse
de CandOlle to consider it certain that
women have a larger proportion of
brown eyes than men; that where both
parents have eyes of the same color the
chances are lightweight to twelve that
the children who reach the age of ten
years (when the colors of eyes are
fixed) will have eyes of the same color;
and thai where the parents have eyes
of different colors the chances are
forty-ive in favor of brown as against
blue or gray for the children. He
claims that brown eyes are more favor
able to health and longevity than the
blonde types.-Arkansaso 7rareler.

TURKISH TORTURE.

Application Of the "EseIl" to Two Innocent
Croatian Brothers.
1t was the Sultan Abdul Medjid who
was robbed; he who was known and
loved for his gentleness and nobleness.
He had been to say his prayers. like all
good Mussulmans, anu rnen 10 eat ms
dinner. and while at dinner his jewell
room had been eptered and tray full
of jewels was carried of.
The jewels in the Sultan's palace are
bought or sometimes confiscated and
kept to be distributed rs rewards of
merit or az gifts to the nurses who
bring tidings of the birth of an heir or
heiress, or, perhaps, to give to a new
or favOrite wife, and there always was
large collection and it was also very
valuable.
There was no person whom the
officers could suspect; no one who
could have approached the Sultan's
jewel-room unperceived, unless it was
two Croatians who worked near that
part of the garden of the palace that
day. These two unfortunates were
seized and searched. Not the slightest
thing was found in their possession
which could tend to criminate them.
but still it was thought they might have
had confcderates and they were given
over to the prison authorities,
who put them to torture again
and again on the rack to
make them confess, but always
uselessly. They were brothers-tall.
strong, handsome fellows. and men
who were born to a heritage of courage
and determination. and when they
were given a respite from their torture
they always declared their innocence.
At last the chief prison authority
thought of method of making them
confess, knowing them to be brothers.
He had them brought out together and
announced his intention of applying
